These mentors help students navigate their career paths, offer advice on professional growth, and assist in developing a long-term career vision. As a result, our students are well-prepared and well-connected, bringing both knowledge and a proactive attitude to their roles.
Employer Testimonials
I had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at the recent Work Ready Summit organised by KSB Career Services, under the auspices of CARISCA, in July 2024. The event was exceptionally well-curated, with topics that were not only relevant to the students but also futuristic. The KSB Career Services’ commitment to equipping students with essential skills is a commendable initiative, effectively preparing them for the realities of the professional world. This approach is exemplary, and I am confident that with this level of preparation, KSB students will excel wherever they find themselves.
